Although their number is not as exaggerated as tens of thousands, it is definitely in the thousands. It can be assumed that the army stationed nearby must have been mobilized in full force.
The leader was riding a tall horse, wearing a bright armor, his face was dark and gloomy, there was a hint of bloodshot in his eyes, and he looked extremely angry.
Kou Zhong and others' guess was correct. The person who led the pursuers was not someone else, but Du Fuwei's sworn brother, Fu Gongju, the second in command of the Jianghuai Army.
Looking at the army that was like a tide and had no end in sight, even though Xu Ziling was always calm and steady, he couldn't help but be dazed at this moment.
An army of this size is probably enough to attack a city.
Although he has the amazing skill of He Guang Tong Chen, how long can he hold out under the siege of thousands of troops?
A cup of tea? A stick of incense? Or even longer?
Xu Ziling himself didn't dare to say it.
But now that things have come to this, he can't back down.
Even if it costs my life, I must buy time for Ah Jiao and Zhong Shao to escape! .
Chapter 788 Gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people!
In front of the army formation.
Fu Gongju had a gloomy expression and a cold gaze as he led the army forward quickly.
Although he didn't think that the two little devils could escape from his eldest brother's clutches, it was better to be prepared. The Secret of Immortality and Yang Gong's treasure house were of great importance and must not be lost.
It was for this reason that he mobilized all the more than 3,000 Jianghuai troops stationed here to surround the forest completely to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
Just as Fu Gongju was about to give the order, a long whistle suddenly rang out.
"This is the Valley of Broken Souls. You have stepped into this hopeless place. Do you also want to die here?"
No one knew where this long howl came from, but it was extremely clear and distant, like rolling thunder echoing throughout the entire forest, making the eardrums of many soldiers buzz.
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
Fu Gongju's eyes were slightly cold, and he snorted coldly. His eyes were like swords, and he quickly looked at the top of a giant tree and said coldly:
"Get off here!"
Before he finished speaking, he snatched a spear from the soldier next to him, shook his arm, burst out with a tremendous force, and threw it fiercely at the figure above the tree canopy.
call out!
The spear cut through the air as fast as a flash of lightning.
But just as it was about to reach the treetops, the figure on top of the treetops suddenly disappeared like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the shot, and then reappeared on another ancient tree.
His body movements and speed are elusive, like a mysterious phantom.
The soldiers present were just ordinary people. They had never seen such a miracle before. They all stared with their eyes wide open, thinking that there must be a ghost in broad daylight. Waves of surprised noises suddenly rang out.
"Oh my God!"
"There's actually a person there!"
"Is this guy a human or a ghost?!"
"It's broad daylight, could it be haunted?"
Fu Gongju's face was as gloomy as water, his eyes were cold, and he shouted:
"quiet!"
"You are all brave soldiers who have fought for many years. Don't you know whether there are ghosts in this world? This is just a little thief pretending to be a ghost. What are you afraid of!?"
Although Fu Gongju's words were not pleasant to hear, they were indeed the truth.
For the people of the Jianghuai Army, such so-called ghost and god things really cannot scare these soldiers who have been living on the edge of a knife for years and make a living by fighting and robbing.
After all, ghosts and gods are also afraid of evil people.
"Second Master is right!"
"Hahaha, we men have been fighting for more than ten years, killing countless people, but we are still alive and well, aren't we?"
"There's no such thing as retribution from ghosts and gods. It's just bullshit. I haven't seen those people who were killed by me come back to seek revenge."
A burst of noisy laughter rang out from the army.
However, what happened next was such a shocking thing that even ghosts and gods were not afraid of the evil ones. They were all terrified and almost lost their souls!
Suddenly, a cold laugh was heard.
"Good deeds will be rewarded with good, evil deeds will be punished with evil. It's not that there will be no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. If you don't believe me, then just look and see whose head this is!"
Before he finished his words, a huge human head suddenly fell from above and rolled to the front of the army like a ball.
Fu Gongju had a gloomy face and dark eyes. He suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He quickly raised his hand and signaled the soldiers beside him to identify the head.
"You go and see."
The killers of the Jianghuai Army were naturally not afraid of just a human head.
In addition, the military order was as heavy as a mountain and no one dared to disobey it. Someone immediately stepped forward and picked up the head. After a closer look, his face turned pale in an instant, and he looked like an idiot. He screamed:
"The chief steward——"
"This...how is this possible!?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Gongju could no longer remain calm. He jumped off his horse, leaped forward, snatched the bloody head, and identified it carefully.
"impossible!!!"
He was seen holding the head with trembling hands, looking at the familiar face and the eyes that were still open in death. Fu Gonghu's eyes were filled with tears, his face was pale, and he was in great pain. He wailed:
"Big brother-"
Fu Gongju could never have imagined it in his dreams.
His sworn brother, the General Manager Du, whom he had followed for many years and who had ruled Jianghuai for many years and had almost never been defeated, was actually dead!
Even human heads were cut off!
"who!?"
"Who killed my eldest brother!?"
Fu Gongju's eyes turned red, and he was breathing heavily. His bloodshot eyes stared at the direction where the head had just fallen. He stared at the figure, and the murderous intent in his eyes was as hot as a raging fire.
At this moment, the unclear figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and its figure was as elusive as a ghost.
The next moment, this figure flashed and fell, and came directly in front of thousands of soldiers and the furious Fu Gongju. He was tall and slender, wearing a Taoist robe, handsome and with extraordinary temperament.
It was Xu Ziling.
At this moment, he stood with his hands behind his back, without a trace of fear on his handsome face. He looked indifferently at the army and the furious Fu Gongju, and said calmly:
"The culprit Du Fuwei is dead, are you still not aware of your mistake?"
Chapter 789: Can’t I fight for this great country?
Although Xu Ziling's voice was not loud, with the blessing of true energy, it was as passionate as the roar of a dragon or a tiger, echoing between heaven and earth.
There is an indescribable dominance and confidence hidden in it.
When everyone present heard this, they were all shocked, with fear written all over their faces, and a burst of unbelievable noise suddenly sounded.
"What!?"
"That's impossible!".
"The general's martial arts skills are unparalleled, no one can defeat him, how could he die at the hands of a young boy?"
"This guy is faking it!"
"kill him!!!"
For a moment, noise, shouting, and questioning mixed together, turning the originally peaceful forest into a mess, as noisy as a pot of boiling water.
In the end, it was Fu Gongju who shouted loudly, suppressing the noise of the crowd.
"Shut up, everyone!"
As the second most prestigious commander in the Jianghuai Army besides Du Fuwei, Fu Gongju's status in the army is still very high.
At this moment, he gave an order and the bandits were subdued and shut their mouths. However, everyone's eyes were still full of doubt and fear, and they didn't know what to do.
Fu Gongju slowly stood up, holding Du Fuwei's head in his hands, his tiger eyes glistening with tears, he looked at Xu Ziling coldly, and slowly opened his mouth, whispering:
"Are you Xu Ziling?"
Fu Gongju had seen the arrest warrant issued by the Yuwen family, which had the portraits of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling on it, so he was not unfamiliar with these two little devils who had caused such big trouble.
Xu Ziling nodded, his expression calm, without a trace of panic, and said calmly:
"I am Xu Ziling."
"You killed my elder brother?"
Fu Gongju had a blank expression on his face and asked again.
Xu Ziling still nodded and said calmly:
"I killed him."
One generation, two brothers.
Shuanglong never splits.
What is the difference between the people killed by Kou Zhong and those killed by Xu Ziling?
Moreover, Du Fuwei's head was indeed cut off by Xu Ziling himself.
After hearing Xu Ziling's personal admission that he was the one who killed Du Fuwei, the entire Jianghuai army was horrified, and a heart-shaking burst of loud shouts of killing rose up to the sky.
"What!?"
"Is it really this little brat who killed Boss Du!?"
"Damn it, I want to avenge my master!"
"Kill him and avenge our Lord General!"
"Wouldn't it be too easy for him to be killed directly? He must be cut into pieces and then burned to death, only then can we relieve the hatred in our hearts!"
Although Du Fuwei was not merciful to the group of killers in the Jianghuai Army, he could be considered a generous boss and was really good to his subordinates.
At least under his command, the Jianghuai Army lived a very good life.
Of course, this "good life" was achieved on the premise of plundering the people of Jianghuai and causing endless killings...
But for the Jianghuai Army, Du Fuwei was indeed the most respected leader in the hearts of all of them, and the backbone of the entire Jianghuai Army.
But now, with Du Fuwei's death, it's like the sky is falling.
Not to mention the admiration they have had for so many years, just the thought of whether they can still live the same unbridled and carefree life after changing their boss is enough to give these killers a headache.
It was for this reason that, at this moment, after learning that the person who killed Du Fuwei was the young man in front of them, everyone's hatred was poured out on the murderer Kou Zhong.
In an instant, countless fierce eyes were fixed on Xu Ziling. The murderous intent emitted by thousands of people gathered together, almost like a dark cloud, vaguely covering the sky and the sun. Every soldier present wanted to cut him into pieces and eat him alive.
Among them, the one with the most murderous intent was Fu Gongju.
Fu Gongju had complicated feelings towards Du Fuwei.
There is both fear and reverence.
Although the two have been sworn brothers for many years, in reality they are more of a superior-subordinate relationship.
Fu Gongju was not as painful as he looked about Du Fuwei's death. On the contrary, he even felt a little happy and relieved.
Although he was glaring at Xu Ziling at this moment, looking like he wanted to eat his flesh and blood alive, in fact, in his heart, he was even grateful to Xu Ziling for taking action to kill Du Fuwei, the so-called sworn brother who had been suppressing him for many years.
Once Du Fuwei, the boss, died, he, the second in command, could take over the position legitimately and lead the entire Jianghuai Army to become the new overlord.
What’s more important is that the secret of immortality hidden in the two little ghosts Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, as well as the secret of Yang Gong’s treasure house, all belong to him, Fu Gongju!
If he could really get these two treasures, plus the powerful Jianghuai Army, then even if it was the world of the Sui Dynasty, he, Fu Gongju, would be qualified to compete for it!
When he thought of this, a seed of ambition quietly took root in Fu Gongju's heart.
My elder brother fought for this great country, so why can't I, Fu Gongju, fight for it? .
Chapter 790 The weirder the weapon, the faster you die!
Fu Gongju suppressed his inner excitement with great willpower, looked at Xu Ziling expressionlessly, and said coldly with murderous intent in his words:
